Hey sharif
How's the family and kids? I've been following you guy since 2008. I'm going to Salvador this summer for a couple of months. I would like to know any tips on Salvador like good places to chow, hang out, cultural events, the do's and don'ts of that part of Brazil and where not to go. - Sunday

Peace, glad to hear from you.
You know summer here is the rainy season there right? So the weather isn't as good as far as being able to do a lot and go to the beach.
Barra (pronounced baha) is the best neighborhood to stay in for your first trip. It's right in the thick of everything. Definitely try acaraje, you will see people selling it on the streets, try to get it from the ladies wearing the traditional clothing b/c they will have the best ones. Pretty much as long as you stay in Barra you don't have to worry about where to hang or anything else b/c it is all going on right there or walking distance.
There is this jazz concert that is real fun. They have it on Saturdays. It's called Jam no MAM. Tourists don't know about it but it is real cool to check out. There is this neighborhood called Rio Vermelho. On Friday or Saturday evenings right next to the catholic church is a house of candomble and they have this ceremony. Then a few hours later that whole spot starts popping as they have live music and just a lot going on in general.
You can pretty much do whatever you want to. Just don't be stupid. Don't go down any dark alleys but other than that you don't have to dress down or any of the stuff you might hear white people say. Don't pay attention to anything you might have heard or read from white travelers.
Have a great time! - Tuesday

What you didn't like about living there? I met a dude in London from São Paulo told me not to move to Brazil. I've heard mixed thing. I know the states is the best country materialisticly. I say when it comes to capitalism it's a all you can eat buffet. I still don't like it here tho. - Sharif Ali
Living there made me realize how good we have it here. It's nice to visit but it's not all it's cracked up to be. I hated how far back our people were there in the power structure. We have no idea how good we have it here. We are the cream of the crop and there is no other place on earth that that has black people in a better position to succeed than in the United States.
The infrastructure of the country sucks, they don't build for the future only for the immediate now so things that are important like pipes, carpentry, electricity, water, and shelter are not built to last.
I have children and it would not be the best option for them or me at all. The education system was not up to par. I would have had to pay a lot of money to send my children to a elite (for Brazil) private school that would have been inferior to the public schools here in America. Seriously. A lot of things that we complain about here are way worse for most people in the world.
I would just visit Brazil in the future. I'll travel all over the world and go to places like Jamaica, Egypt, Fiji, you name it. But unlike many people that go on vacation and talk about how they want to live there I will be like hell no. In the back of my mind I would know that those places are only good in small doses. It's also the last place you want to be if shit really hit the fan b/c it's already in bad shape.

Azealia Banks is On Point in This Interview
(Disclaimer: I made this article back in 2015. Since then evidence has surfaced which shows that this bitch is actually batshit crazy. HERE and HERE She claims to only date white men, wears contacts, and bleaches her skin. WTF! Sounds like a self-hating bedwench to me. Oh well, another black girl lost, like Nas said.)
Azealia seems pretty smart. It was funny as hell watching her roast that Iggy bitch from Australia.

and being fed up with white America. Many of you know that from our
Yeah, she's on point, into the Orishas and all that. The Nagas are definitely waking up, pyramids activating and all that. Look around, you will soon see a sea of fezzes in the streets (FezCaps.com). Bear witness to the Rise of the Moors. It's enevitable!
Read on, it get's pretty interesting.
Azealia Banks: Wild and Uncensored for Playboy
By Rob TannenbaumIn the video for “212,” the dazzling and lascivious song that rocketed her to fame and acclaim in 2011, Azealia Banks smiles joyfully while rat-a-tat-tatting compound lyrics about how talented and hot she is and how easily she could get your girlfriend to go down on her. Banks does everything with a mischievous laugh—so when you see her schooling fools on Twitter or read her insightful thoughts on black culture or listen to her brilliant new album, Broke With Expensive Taste, envision this 23-year-old Harlem rapper and singer chuckling at how much fun it is to be smart and fearless, with a mike in her hand. And right now, no one is having more fun than Banks.
Did you grow up in a house where sex was discussed freely?
Yes, but it was more joked about. My mother was always making inappropriate jokes. We had sex books in the house. She never tried to hide it from me. When I got my period it was very much like, “Boys are going to want to touch your body, but you can get pregnant now, and we not playing that shit.” My mom scared me off of getting pregnant.
In what ways are you like your mom?
We both have really good taste in things: food, music, furniture. But I like men a lot, and she’s like, “I could care less.” My dad died when I was really young, and my mom never dated anyone else. She’s into her dogs and books and decorating her house. And I’m like, “Ooh, boys!” I’ll have a boyfriend, and then a couple of months will go by and I’ll have a new boyfriend, and she’ll be like, “Azealia, can’t you stay with one?” No! [laughs] They’re all too fun.
What’s the longest relationship you’ve had?

David Banner Film Walking With Gods
David Banner Taps African Mythology in Film ‘Walking With Gods’
The Mississippi native is now working on a new project called “Walking With Gods,” which taps into African mythology to tell the story of a black superhero named Aket Heru.
Last year he filmed the first installment of his very own series “Walking With Gods” where he plays the role of (Aket-the kemetic/egyptian term meaning a place where the sun rises and sets) Alex a Superhero that finally realizes his true potential as a God.
“It all begins when Aket Heru, son of a celestial king is cursed. Aket’s jealous brother, Liel, becomes aware that their father will ignore natural order and install Aket as king, upon his death.
Angered, Liel invokes the evil spirit Setus. Setus fools Liel and destroys the family, but keeps Aket for entertainment. Aket’s memory is erased and he is forced to travel through the ages not knowing his true God like power.
Setus plays an evil game and Aket murders his girlfriend, Lisa. After the murder, Aket’s true power awakens. Aket must now fight to restore his full power and break the curse. In order to do so, Aket now Alex Light must believe in his godly power and embrace his true destiny.”

Voodoo Sucks | Seriously It's Wack, Outdated | More Rants
Voodoo is no more enlightening than any other religion. It sucks on so many levels. The worst part is that black people are the main ones who shouldn't be practicing it. I'll explain why. One more thing before I explain. I'm catching flack for writing this. My wife is Puerto Rican and Haitian. Voodoo is part of her culture and she will find this offensive.
Voodoo is a religion of conquered people. It didn't work in the past. The crazy thing is that some modern-day descendants of slaves actually hope to empower themselves by trading the shackles of mainstream religion for a system that failed their ancestors.
I understand why you want to escape the church and break away from Christianity. I get it. Voodoo is so wack though. It has no practical use and keeps black people in a weak mind-state that helped get them into their current conditions. Case in point. A few years ago, this voodoo priest dude got upset at me over some petty argument and threatened to send the Orishas (voodoo gods) after me. I laughed at his ass, told him he was a joke, and to do his worst.
Its now 7 years later and they didn't get me. This is sad people. This is an example of the mindset that got African people conquered. On one hand this voodoo guy was acting like an emotional female but that's a whole other story. The main point is the reliance on something outside of you that has no real power. Voodoo only works because you believe and/or fear it. That is called a placebo effect.
I don't believe in that bullshit and neither did the European who kicked the African's black ass. The white man was like, "Oh you're going to put a curse on me if I rape your village? Well we have guns and we'll just place trade embargoes on your nation that will curse you for generations to come. For real." Whose voodoo was more powerful? Not that bullshit, place a coconut on your alter, slaughter a chicken crap.
None of the gods from the voudun pantheon seemed to care enough to assist their practitioners while they were being enslaved, raped, families broken up, getting their asses whipped for learning how to read, and hung from trees. They didn't offer any help while the land and resources were stolen from their loyal followers.
I mean they borrowed a page from MLK and straight turned the other cheek while all this shit was going on. In the meantime followers had to make sacrifices, kill goats, chickens, sometimes people, do all types of weird shit, sing, dance, have all these elaborate ceremonies, and leave food out to appease these dudes (ahem, gods).
